Fraudsters Impersonate Carabinieri in Garda Phone Scams

They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shop owners, artisans, and restaurant owners in Medio and Alto Garda, offering subscriptions to military magazines.

These are not military personnel, but fraudsters who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, police, fire brigade, or municipal police.

How to Recognize Scams and How to Respond

They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or publications that have nothing to do with the law enforcement.

So, be vigilant and immediately notify the real Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

having money, do not show up anymore.
